I thought of waiting until Part 2 to reblog the entire post, but I think the background in this one is concise and useful. The Marlise Boland journalist/fan enigma is also highlighted, IMO, by her premature revealing of their victory to the winners of her contest at the BAFTA LA tea party. This odd timing was brought to my attention by readers.
[Background to this in terms of my mood is learning yesterday that George Soros was funding the Ferguson protests and that Richard Armitage “won” another Anglophile Channel prize. Yes, I realize this post is likely to be controversial and that some readers won’t like that. It also attempts, however, to be point-blank honest about my feelings. My theme of 2015 is “liberation” and I’m really optimistic that the prospective forthcoming expansion of our fandom will guarantee the ongoing possibility of greater diversity of opinion. All I ask is that people who leave reactions do not make personal attacks on me or other fans. As I still cannot tell whether Marlise Boland is a fan or a journalist, I leave you to your own consciences on that one. I remain conflicted.]
me + richard armitage fandom wank
So, remember this, last December? I knew that move would be controversial…
